I don't know what kind of reply you're expecting. You've managed to use two AMD cards and not have driver crashes? Uh, good for you, but that doesn't mean the rest of us are "full of crap". I've also owned two AMD cards, and for both of them the drivers were flaky, on Linux and Windows. I'm sure they're not broken for everyone, but they were broken for me. Maybe if I bought another AMD card I'd get lucky this time around, but I'm not going to take the risk.

That was an intro to the second half of the comment which exclusively focuses on video encode capability. I Didn't directly refute that driver quality sucks. From the original:

>I'm refuting the general statement "if you want to stream with AMD you have to use your CPU and crush your framerate"

"those people are full of crap" is a pretty direct insult. You shouldn't make that kind of accusation when you're not able to substantiate it or even willing to stand by it.
